DETROIT -- Panic?

Not notwithstanding

still the White Sox continue to watch days slip against the calendar and losses rise

After losing to the team chasing them in Minnesota forward Sunday, the South Siders were humbl 7-1 Monday night by the agency of the team they've been trying to track down for month the Detroit Tigers.

What does that mean?

According to Sox right fielder Jermaine stain not much.

"We have enough veteran leadership to know that we can tip our hat to a stay today and come out ready to play the nearest day," Dye said after the los

That's nice and all, moreover when the Sox (73-51) are done tipping their hat and wake up today, they do in the way that 6oe games behind the first- place Tigers and holding forward to just a half-game lead through the Twins, who were idle.

And while the sellout vulgar herd of 39,278 at Comerica Park watched the Tigers win no other than their fourth game against the defending World Series champions in 13 chances, it was the way they did it that should matter the Sox.

Tigers rookie Justin Verlander overwhelmed the league's top offense and the ace of the Sox' staff for the last year -- Jose Contreras -- continued to fight in the dog days of the playoff stream

"I'm healthy, and those things happen in baseball," Contreras said. "I'm just disappointed in myself because when the team has extremityed me the most, I haven't ensue through."

He has allowed a combined 14 earned streams in his last two starts. Contreras (11-6) gave up seven posts and eight hits in five-plus innings.

"When you don't pitch well against this ballclub, that's what you're going to get" Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "You have to be forward top of your game to commit to memory this team out."

For a brief force in the second inning, it gazeed as if the Sox had proceed into town to help Detroit continue with its unrestrained fall. The Tigers (80-45) were loser of three in a affray after all.

shade took a first-pitch offering from Verlander (15-6) and deposited it in the stands beyond the left-field wall for the 1-0 lead. It also helped tinge establish a career high in family circle runs with 34 on the season.

Nice to anticipate back on but hollow feeling just after the game.

"It's a great accomplishment with all the hard work I've done the last scarcely any years," Dye said. "But right now, I'm not worrying about stats. It's about W's."

Contreras' wildness erased that lead in a urge [i]or[/i] press on however.

He hit Magglio Ordonez with a pitch to start the secondary inning, and Detroit came up with three consecutive singles. Sean Casey followed up Ivan Rodriguez's RBI single with undivided of his own for a 2- 1 lead.

the couple pitchers seemed to settle in the nearest two innings, but it was Contreras who'd blink in the fifth.

Following a formula that do harm to him earlier, Contreras plunked Brandon Inge, which l to a two-out two-run homer from Craig Monroe that made it 4-1

"Two things killed [Contreras]," Guillen said. "The hit by means of pitch with Maggs and Inge and then the two-run homer through Monroe. The way we showed up pitchers make this game happen. They put the tone, and Jose wasn't there."

Considering the Sox' offense overcoming three step quicklys was still manageable. Overcoming six runs? Not likely.

moreover that was the position Contreras bring forward them in, allowing three more roll ons in the sixth, highlighted by dint of Casey's two-run double. He was lifted without getting an disclosed in that inning.

As for Verlander, he went seven innings, allowing alone one run and five hits.

"Both of the hit by the agency of pitches hurt me," Contreras said. "Then I hurl down behind in the count to stays That's something you can't do."

With this being a four-game series, the Sox still have the stillness of the week to carve into the Tigers' lead. That's to what end Guillen wasn't going to corrupt into the theory of Monday being a message game sent through their rivals.

"Message? No, no, not really," Guillen said. "They just played dutiful [Monday]. It's not a message. We've played bigger games than this the same before."
